Rhinoplasty / Nose Job
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a medical procedure designed to alter the shape or structure of the nose to improve facial appearance or address clinical issues. This surgery can be performed for both clinical and cosmetic reasons. Clinically, rhinoplasty can correct breathing issues by adjusting the septum or fixing nasal bumps. Cosmetically, it enhances the nose’s appearance or corrects deformities present from birth.

Refined nose shape and/or improved nasal function after swelling subsides
Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a nose job, involves reshaping the nose to improve aesthetics, function, or both. It can be used to correct features such as a dorsal hump, drooping or wide nasal tips, asymmetry, or issues with nasal airflow. Our approach combines surgical artistry with anatomical precision, ensuring the nose complements the rest of your facial features rather than dominating them. Every procedure at Avané is completely personalized, blending subtle enhancement with surgical integrity.
How does the Rhinoplasty / Nose Job work?
Most people opt for a nose job as a cosmetic treatment to improve the nose’s appearance by changing its size, shape, or width. This surgery can also correct the nose’s angle to achieve facial symmetry. Clinically, a nose job can address breathing issues or correct a slanted septum or nasal bump. Rhinoplasty is popular for boosting confidence and self-esteem through improved appearance. However, achieving a perfect nose is not guaranteed, and consulting a qualified surgeon is essential to understand the surgery’s realistic outcomes and effects on natural beauty.
The rhinoplasty procedure begins with a detailed consultation to discuss your concerns and desired outcomes. During the surgery, anesthesia is administered for comfort. The surgeon then makes incisions to access the bones and cartilage supporting the nose. These may be adjusted, removed, or reshaped to achieve the desired appearance or improve functionality. The incisions are then closed, and a splint is applied to support the new shape of the nose as it heals.
At Avané, we also specialize in revision rhinoplasty—correcting or refining the results of previous nasal surgeries to achieve the balanced outcome you originally envisioned. We treat both first-time rhinoplasty patients and those seeking revision surgery.
Rhinoplasty is highly customizable and can address:
Breathing issues due to structural abnormalities
If performed professionally, rhinoplasty can significantly increase a person’s self-confidence by enhancing their look and appearance. The surgery also addresses and fixes breathing-related defects and discomfort, such as a slanted septum or congenital nasal deformities. Additionally, rhinoplasty is a straightforward procedure with minimal side effects and a relatively short downtime, making it an attractive option for those seeking both cosmetic and medical improvements.
Other advantages include
You may be a candidate for rhinoplasty if you are unhappy with the shape, size, or function of your nose and are in good overall health. It’s essential that facial growth is complete—typically by age 16 or older—and that you have realistic expectations about your results. During your consultation, we’ll assess your needs and goals in detail to determine whether cosmetic, functional, or combined rhinoplasty is the right approach.
Other factors include:
After surgery, most patients wear a nasal splint for about one week and experience some swelling and bruising, particularly around the eyes. Discomfort is minimal and managed with medication. Most people feel ready to return to work or daily activities within 7–10 days, though strenuous exercise should be postponed for several weeks. While early results are visible soon after the splint is removed, subtle refinements continue to appear as residual swelling subsides over several months. Our team closely monitors your progress and guides you through every step of recovery.
Your rhinoplasty results will unfold gradually. You’ll see an immediate improvement in nasal shape once the splint is removed, but the full outcome evolves over time as tissues settle and swelling resolves. For many patients, the greatest benefit is how seamlessly the refined nose complements their overall facial structure—delivering symmetry and definition without drawing attention. These results are designed to be permanent, allowing you to enjoy improved confidence and comfort for years to come.
